To be on the safe side<br />
The safety of every wheelchair occupant is our top priority at <strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> and is of central importance<br />
for all our innovations.<br />
<strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> is the leading supplier of lifts, wheelchair and occupant restraint system, system floors<br />
and related products for the conversion of accessible vehicles in Europe. This leading position is both<br />
a responsibility and a motivation for <strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> to ensure that all aspects of its products, which have<br />
quality and safety implications, are subject to the strictest of controls. All production work is completed<br />
in accordance with the ISO 2001 standard. In addition, all lifts and ramps which the company<br />
delivers are TÜV-tested in 20 G front-on vehicle crashes.<br />
All <strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> products offer a high level of safety. Vehicle floors equipped with the Smartfloor meet<br />
all safety requirements of the stringent EU directives such as UN-ECE R14, R16, R17, ISO 10542 and<br />
DIN standard 75078. All surfaces which may present a slip hazard in the vehicle comply with slip resistance<br />
class R11. Lifts and electric steps are subjected to thorough EMV tests and then approved<br />
by the German Federal Office for Motor Vehicles (KBA).<br />
In order to further improve safety and protection for people with mobility restrictions, <strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> successfully<br />
working in cooperation with competent partners such as TÜV Nord, TÜV Rheinland, BAST,<br />
UTAC (France), AIB Vinçotte (Belgium), Status (United Kingdom), Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz, RDW<br />
Holland and the German Federal Office for Motor Vehicles (KBA).<br />
A major step in the quest for “even more tested safety“ has been taken by <strong>AMF</strong>-BRUNS with its new<br />
in-house accredited test equipment at <strong>AMF</strong>-BRUNS in Apen, Germany. Together with the Dutch RDW<br />
and German TÜV or the British VCA, <strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> now tests and examines safety-relevant components,<br />
products and retrofitting in house. In future, for example, seat testing, strength testing of builtin<br />
vehicle components or wheelchair restraining systems are become routine in our own test centre<br />
for all types of vehicles on the market. With up to eight special cylinders the required tension is built<br />
up within a matter of milliseconds. In the meantime, other conversion companies are also taking the<br />
opportunity to have testing done by the <strong>AMF</strong>-<strong>Bruns</strong> Test Centre.<br />
